What do Charles Dickens, Count Leo Tolstoy, Barry Manilow, and James Anderton, Chief Constable of Manchester, have in common? A love of the accordion. Tonight Arena investigates the appeal of a much-maligned instrument from its roots in Imperial China, and appraises its bellowings from Cajun to the classics, from Stockhausen to Jimmy Shand. Other sounds from around the world include the heart-throbs of the Indian cinema, Tex-Mex superstar Flaco Jiminez, Soweto's Mahotella Queens, and the Accordion World Cup in Folkestone.
